Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, to all you people out there
I wanna know one thing
What's love?
Who are we?
Aren't we all brothers and sisters?
Our blood is the same color
So we should get our all get down
Check it out
[Verse 2]
Could it be that I stand alone on my own
Have nothing to fear far away from home
Now my time is short, let me exercise your mind
Fly with me to the sky with deny
I hear quiet past generations, I travel different nations
Come closer to the man that you're facin'
This is my clear, my saying, my words
Vanish racism thoughts from your nerve
Display the verbs, stand up for what you believe
We shall all overcome and achieve
Think about the brothers and sisters
Who died and remember
Know what love is and make a difference
[Verse 3]
In my life, there's been heartaches and pain (heartaches and pain)
I don't know if I can face it again (face it again)
Can't stop now
I've traveled so far (traveled so far) to change this lonely life
[Verse 4]
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me (oh, show me yeah)
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me
[Verse 5]
Why?
Could you tell me what love is?
Ah, could you tell me what love is?
Why?
Could you tell me what love is?
[Verse 6]
What about life and the prayin'
We people gotta stop all the hate and the shame that we're bringin'
We're all the same, we all feel pain
Some of us don't even know what we will remain
This is the life, the life that we're livin'
With a little respect, we should all be givin'
So here comes the question, no risk or doubt
Can you tell me what love is and what it's about?
[Verse 7]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain (heartaches and pain)
I don't know if I can face it again (face it again)
Can't stop now
I've traveled so far (traveled so far) to change this lonely life
[Verse 8]
Oh, I wanna know what love is (Come on and show us)
I want you to show me (Come on and show me, yeah)
I wanna feel what love is (Oh, oh)
I know you can show me
[Verse 9]
Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is) (I wanna know)
I want you to show me (let's talk about love)
I wanna feel what love is (feel my love)
I know you can show me (show)
I wanna know what love is (I wanna know what love is) (I wanna know)
I want you to show me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wanna feel what love is (yeah. I'm gonna feel the sign)
I know you can show me
